Porsche Active Suspension Management
(PASM).
PASM is fit ted as standard in all 911 models
for the first time. This electronic damping
control system actively and continuously
adjusts the damping force on each wheel,
based on current road conditions and
driving style.
PASM has two modes, which can be
selected using a separate button on the
centre console: ‘Normal’, which is a blend
of performance and comfort, and ‘Sport ’
where the setup is much firmer.
The results are tangible: increased driving
stability, improved comfort and enhanced
performance.
Rear-axle steering.
Rear-axle steering is available on request
for all S models. Until now reserved
exclusively for the 911 Turbo and 911 GT3
models, it enhances performance and
everyday practicality in equal measure.
For particularly nimble handling combined
with a significant increase in driving
stability.
The advantage for day-to-day driving:
during low-speed manoeuvres, the system
steers the rear wheels in the opposite
direction to that of the front wheels. This
has the virtual effect of shortening the
wheelbase. The turning circle is reduced,
cornering turn-in becomes considerably more dynamic, and parking is noticeably
easier to manage.
The advantage for sporty driving: during
high-speed manoeuvres, the system steers
the rear wheels in the same direction as
that of the front wheels. Driving stability is
increased by the virtual extension of the
wheelbase and agility is enhanced by the
simultaneous steering of the front and rear
axles. All this has an impact on maximum
driving performance: an extremely positive
one.
The road to the future has its ups and downs.
And its fair share of twists and turns.
